Eel feeding made easy
I was at a large grocery store that caters to people from the Orient, called TNT and found pre-packaged frozen mini Octopus.

The pack has 16 individualy frozen Octopi in each package. They break apart easily and my Morays and Ribbons love it. I use 6 per feeding.

After I defrost em, I also cut off a few tentacles, the Ribbons love them and I do not need to trim to feed, I give my Ribbons 3 each.

I feed my two largest Eels, a Zebra and a Black Edge 1 whole one each. I cut up the other ones into large chunks for easy feeding.
Just thought I'd share...

I've read about people using octopi as a main ingredient in home-made fish food for marine fish. I've looked for packages like that but non to be found in the small rural city were I live.
I'd love to see a feeding time video (hint hint
)
If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

Mine is the TNT in Ottawa, just off of Hunt Club. $3.99 a pack of 16. I believe you can get these in any asian specialty food shop...

Cliff, don't mind shooting the video but the 4 hour upload time to youtube is a killer! But your right, when the big boys grab one whole, I imagine its just as in the wild, tentacles flailing...
